@emptywheel Paul says "actively engaged," Holder says "engaged." Seems like Holder's saying there's wider category of people we can't kill. -
@brianbeutler Correction, for starters. This is not "can't kill." It's "can't kill w/weaponized drone." Pretty clear we can kill people.

@emptywheel I'm taking "actively engaged" as a subset of "engaged." Mainly agree with@bmaz that this is all "fool's gold" anyhow. -
@brianbeutler Yeah. I see that, guess it makes sense.
